Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.
NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

- SC_CUT_SEPCHARS="XYZ" - treat supplied characters as possible words
separators when the driver searches for words boundaries when doing cut
operation.
Also unify cut code a bit to decrease amount of duplicated code. This fixes

Socket 8 to 370 converters. When (1) CPU_PPRO2CELERON option is

specified by CPU_L2_LATENCY option. Default value of L2 cache latency

These options are useful if you use Socket 8 to Socket 370 converter

fairly strong incentive to update the older drivers to newbus, but doesn't
(quite) leave anybody hanging with no hardware support. I was talking with

that was a bit too drastic for my liking.
Note1: the correct interrupt level is invoked correctly for each driver.
For this purpose, drivers request the bus before being able to
call BUS_SETUP_INTR and BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR call is forced by the ppbus
core when drivers release it. Thus, when BUS_SETUP_INTR is called
at ppbus driver level, ppbus checks that the caller owns the
bus and stores the interrupt handler cookie (in order to unregister
it later).
Printing is impossible while plip link is up is still TRUE.

First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii

Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c

2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.
